Babies should be checked immediately after birth to make sure there are no dead babies or wet bedding. As long as your hands are clean and free of scents from lotion etc. it will be fine. You should not take them out of the nest and hold them until they are 3 or more weeks old for any reason other than checking on their immediate health and making sure bedding is dry.
